A few months ago, Wine broke on my laptop, as did Steam with Proton. I didn't have time to deal with it, so I purged everything related to both programs as well as any leftover configs. Today, I find myself needing Wine again, so I've been trying to install it on my Linux Mint machine - system specs: https://termbin.com/6c6o
I followed these instructions to the letter: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
I get this far:
Code: Select all
$ sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

- Using Bottles (flatpak). It sets up a bottle, but won't let me select executables unless I tell it to show all files in a folder, and when I try to execute them, nothing happens. When I try to execute a program using bottles from the CLI, nothing happens either, I just land on a new line with no output.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I don't even know why Wine-Staging broke on my system a few months ago, it was perfectly fine one day and the next time I checked, everything was borked.
